Less than 24 hours after RBG's death, and ActBlue is still seeing insane numbers.

We're running at $1 million every 15 minutes.

More than $85,000 every minute.

Only anecdotal evidence so far, but people seem more eager to vote, too. Wouldn't it be fantastic if, instead of Republicans celebrating her death, her passing created a blue tsunami that washed every bit of their power away?

RBG, still working for justice in her death.

We will continue. We also got our absentee ballots yesterday, and after we have researched the judges up for election, we will vote and take it in to the election county office. We are in RUBY RED Oklahoma...we will STILL vote!

You can use Resistbot to sign the petition and generate an email to your Senators.

Options:
1. Direct Message RBG to @resistbot on Twitter or Messenger
or
2. Text RGB to 50409

If you haven't used it before, Resistbot will ask a couple questions to determine who your elected officials are and then automatically generate an email on your behalf and add you to the list of petition signers to
"No Confirmation for Supreme Court until after Inauguration Day"
